An outbreak of vanA vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium in a hospital with endemic vanB VRE  Angus Hughes, Susan Ballard, Sheena Sullivan, Caroline Marshall  Infection, Disease & Health  Volume 24, Issue 2, Pages 82-91 (May 2019) DOI: 10.1016/j.idh.2018.12.002 Copyright © 2019 Australasian College for Infection Prevention and Control Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Timeline of the outbreak: Length of stay on CTS, ICU and other hospital wards for cases and implementation of key infection control measures. CTS-pos and ICU-pos = stay on ward with any positive vanA VREfm isolate; CTS-neg and ICU-neg = stay on ward when negative for vanA VREfm or status not yet known (assumed negative); other_ward = stay on any other ward in hospital excluding ICU and CTS and regardless of vanA VREfm status. Black dots represent vanA VREfm acquisitions detected on discharge screening to other_ward or from hospital. Note. CHG = Chlorhexidine gluconate; CTS = cardiothoracic surgery; ICU = intensive care unit; VRE = vancomycin-resistant enterococci; VREfm = vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium.
